EMR implementation in 6 weeks. Hospital EMR people will balk at this. However, it’s possible in the ambulatory setting. I wouldn’t recommend it, but one time I had to do it.@PediatricInc

Great article. The redundancy is killer!! We did a partial EMR implementation at first. Then, we ended up using the redundancy to push through the rest of the EMR implementation. So, while I hate redundancy as much as the next person, it was interesting how we could use redundancy in order to drive the adoption of EMR technology.

It seems the real issue you pose is who is required to do the redundant work. I suggest you have the person who needs to be most bought in to the EMR to do the redundant work.

I didn’t dig into the following research, but it’s interesting to note that they said a VC investment increase in HIT of 27%. If anything, that sounds low to me. Although, many of the HIT projects are likely still in the Angel investing stage as opposed to VC.@starkehealth
